(J) DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through6 thereof, a new throwing-game target apparatus embodying the principlesand concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designatedby the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6 , the gliding disc gameassembly 10 generally comprises a frame 12. The frame 12 has a groundbase 14. The ground base 14 is a square-shaped tube 16. The ground base14 has a pair of ends 18. A pair of vertical bases 20 is positioned on arespective one of the pair of ends 18 of the ground base 14 andprotrudes out therefrom. Each of the vertical bases 20 is thesquare-shaped tube 16. Each of the vertical bases 20 is parallel to eachother and the pair of vertical bases 20 is perpendicular relative to theground base 14.

Each of the vertical bases 20 has a plurality of ports 22. Each of theports 22 is an indent in each of the vertical bases 20. The plurality ofports 22 of each of the vertical bases 20 is coplanar to each other.Each of the vertical bases 20 has an upper end 24. Each end 26 of a pairof ends 26 of an upper base 30 is coupled to a respective one of theupper end 24 of each of the vertical bases 20. The upper base 30 is thesquare-shaped tube 16. The upper base 30 is parallel relative to theground base 14. The frame 12 is configured for having a rectangularshape.

Each stand 32 of a pair of stands 32 is a rectangular shape. Each of thestands 32 has a peripheral surface 34 and a ground surface 36. Theperipheral surface 34 of each of the stands 32 has a center 38. A lowerend 40 of each of the vertical bases 20 is coupled to the center 38 ofthe peripheral surface 34 of each of the stands 32. The pair of stands32 is positioned perpendicular relative to the pair of vertical bases20. The ground surface 36 of each of the stands 32 has a center 42. Eachstake 44 of a pair of stakes 44 is protruding out from the center 42 ofthe ground surface 36 of each of the stands 32. The pair of stakes 44 isconfigured for being inserted into the ground whereby anchoring theframe 12. The pair of stakes 44 retains the frame 12 in a fixed positionrelative to the ground.

A pair of rungs 46 is configured for being positioned in a center area48 of the frame 12. Each of the rungs 46 is the square-shaped tube 16.Each of the rungs 46 has a pair of inputs 50 at a respective one of eachend 52 of a pair of ends 52 of each of the rungs 46. Each of the inputs50 is complementary to each of the ports 22 of the pair of verticalbases 20. The pair of inputs 50 of each of the rungs 46 is configuredfor being inserted into a respective one of the plurality of ports 22 ofeach of the vertical bases 20. The pair of rungs 46 is configured forbeing positioned lateral to the frame 12 whereby the pair of rungs 46 isparallel relative to the ground base 14 and to the upper base 30. Thepair of rungs 46 can be interchanged along the pair of vertical bases 20whereby creating a variety of score posts 28.

A goal 54 is positioned on a top 56 of the upper base 30 of the frame.The goal is a pair of poles 58 positioned on the top 56 of the upperbase 30. Each of the poles 58 protrudes upward from the upper base 30.Each of the poles 58 has an end 60. A goal base 62 is coupled to the end60 of each of the poles 58. The goal base 62 is positioned parallel tothe upper base 30. The goal base 62 and the pair of poles 58 create arectangular shape of the goal 54. The goal 54 has a center space 64. Thecenter space 64 defines a space for a gliding disc to fly through.

A disc 66 is the throwing device of the gliding disc game assembly 10.The disc 66 is a circular gliding disc and is configured for glidingthrough the air when thrown by a user. The disc 66 is configured forbeing able to fit through the center space 64 of the goal 54. The disc66 can be a known item, such as a Frisbee.

In use, a pair of frames 68 is set up facing each other from forty feetapart. The pair of stakes 44 of each of the frames 68 is inserted intothe ground to retain each of the frames 68 in a fixed position. The userpositions the pair of rungs 46 in the center area 48 of each of theframes 68 to the variety of score posts 28. Each of the score posts 28represents a different amount of points awarded to a team when the disc66 is flown through. Each team takes turns tossing the disc 66 towardsthe opposite frame 12. The first team to obtain twenty-one points or flythe disc 66 through the center space 64 of the goal 54 will win thegame.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized thatthe optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodimentenabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials,shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, aredeemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and allequivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings anddescribed in the specification are intended to be encompassed by anembodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
